Aaron Paye (born January 19, 1981 in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota) is an American-Liberian footballer (striker) playing currently for American USL First Division side Atlanta Silverbacks.
Paye attended Fairleigh Dickinson where he was a third team All American. Paye was with the Minnesota Thunder of the USL from 2004 to August 8, 2008. Paye lost his spot on the team in the off-season of 2007, but was rostered back onto the team a month into the season after working hard and impressing the coaching staff. On August 8, 2008, the Minnesota Thunder announced a trade with the Atlanta Silverbacks, sending Nathan Knox back to the Minnesota Thunder, a team he had played for previously, and Paye going to the Sliverbacks in an even swap, as both are forwards.[1] Currently, coaching Fridley varsity boy's high school team and various teams with the Minneapolis United Soccer Club.
